Chapter 3967 The Song of the Purple Moon (18)
"...They've finally arrived."
In a corner of the square where the tribe was holding its moon-worshiping ceremony, [Xiang Feihu], wearing an invisibility cloak, watched Captain [Luo] and his group approach rapidly and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, the Laurel tribe had suffered a large-scale invasion, and she was somewhat worried about whether Long Xiruo's actions would be hindered... As for the issue of safety.
In Li Huamei's view, what problem could there be with Long Xiruo, who could easily drive away [Shinichiro Arakawa], who definitely possesses the strength of a vice-captain or even above?
"However... I never expected that the population of this hidden tribe would be so enormous!"
How many Laurel Earl people are there here?
[Xiang Feihu] couldn't count them all at once... It's likely that there are more long-eared tribes in the [Guilin] tribe than in the entire [Ziyue] tribe.
"They even have their own army, weapons... and are well-trained."
one question.
What exactly does this "Laurel" tribe want to achieve by developing in this way?
What are those people who are secretly concealing the existence of the [Laurel] tribe within the Alliance headquarters planning to do...? Admiral Li, whose heart is now filled with righteous indignation, is already burning with rage!
—Absolutely, no one will be allowed to disrupt the hard-won stability under the banner of [freedom and unbridled behavior]!
……
When he stepped onto the Moon Worship Ceremony Square again, [Gold] Shaq glanced almost imperceptibly at the location of a certain flower bud in the light and shadow of the enormous divine tree.
Shaq was starting to feel something was off.
Given his life experience and strength, how could he have been so bewitched as to accept Boros's invitation back then... The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he felt physically uncomfortable. He even had a strong urge to destroy the light and shadow of the Divine Tree!
At this time, due to the invasion of the tribe, apart from the long-eared females who had already climbed the trees and completed their mating and were waiting to conceive in the purple flower buds, there were no other members of the long-eared tribe to be seen in the square.
They have probably all been evacuated.
There wasn't even a single patrolling soldier in sight.
Holding the map, [Golden] Shaq took the lead and was the first to arrive at the [Sea God] statue. "It really is here! The map even thoughtfully provided a highlight."
Now that the question of who would take the lead had been decided, Ah Xi Ruo suddenly said, "It's best to be careful. The simpler something seems, the more likely it is to be deadly... Brother Shaq, don't be careless!"
—This bitch finally agreed to call me "brother"...that wasn't easy!
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I know!" [Gold] Shaq chuckled. "I haven't been a pirate for nothing all these years! To be honest, before becoming a Void Pirate, I was actually a registered treasure hunter! I have a wealth of experience in treasure hunting!"
Ah Xiruo was taken aback for a moment, and asked curiously, "Isn't being a treasure hunter good? Why did you become a void pirate?"
"There are too many rules for treasure hunters!" [Gold] Shaq scoffed. "Nothing beats the freedom of being a void pirate... Sister-in-law, aren't you pirates too?"
Ah Xi Ruo shrugged—cosplaying as a pirate was entirely due to Boss Luo's interest... She didn't even know how long Luo Qiu's interest would last; perhaps he would get tired of it in a few days and switch to another profession.
What could she do?
—The relationships have become such a mess.
—So you can only marry that kind of person, and follow that kind of person's lead?
—As long as he's happy...
—Besides, isn't a cheerful and entertaining shop owner better than a completely inhuman shop puppet?
There seems to be something here!
While talking to Ah Xiruo, [Gold] Shak was also carefully examining the condition of the statue—he quickly discovered the keyhole that matched the key.
[Gold] Shaq pondered for a moment, then created a sand clone, which took the key and went to the keyhole... without immediately inserting it.
“Brother, I examined the statue and found not a trace of divinity!” [Gold] Shaq suddenly said, “It seems that Boros’s claim that the statue could bestow the blessings of the [Sea God] was mostly false!”
Ah Xi Ruo thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed strangely, "After Boros ate the carrot, he's been completely open with you, Brother Shak. He even offered you his wife, how could he hide it from you?"
[Gold] Shaq couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.
The physical discomfort he felt after three rows of shots returned, and he took a deep breath, pondering, "Then there's another possibility. Boros might also be a victim of the so-called blessing... The blessing of [Sea God] might just be a deception! Heh, that Avril is burning up, she's planning to capture her and give her a good 'interrogation'!"
“Brother Shak’s speculation is not without merit.” Captain [Lo] smiled slightly and said, “As expected of you, Brother Shak.”
[Gold] Shaq waved his hand smugly, then controlled his sand clone, "Whether it's real or fake, since we're here, let's use this key first... Brothers, sisters-in-law, please step back a bit!"
[Gold] Shaq is characterized by his strong initiative and versatility—he not only made Captain [Lo] retreat a bit, but also remembered to add a sand shield for everyone's protection.
Suddenly, Ah Xi Ruo moved closer to Captain Luo and sent a telepathic message.
— Li Huamei is here.
Captain Luo blinked and looked at Ah Xi Ruo with a knowing smile.
This telepathic maid obviously wouldn't intercept anything... She wouldn't do anything that would offend her master—but from the moment she entered the plaza, the presence of [Xiang Fei Hu] couldn't possibly escape her senses.
Without even having to guess, she could figure out what Ah Xiruo was saying... The maid's gaze softened a little when she looked at Ah Xiruo because of her honesty with her master.
"It's working! It really does work!"
[Gold] Shaq let out a low exclamation, somewhat excited.
……
……
……
……
"Moon Flash·Broken Mountain!"
The long sword in his hand unleashed a purple light slash that stretched over a hundred meters in an instant. Its power was so great that it instantly blasted several treasure hunters into serious injury!
"Lord Banico is invincible—!!"
As the strongest warrior of the Laurel tribe, Banikoli is now using his immense power to prove the worth of the strongest long-eared warrior!
The long-eared warriors were immediately filled with renewed vigor!
A horde of... no, it should be described as an ocean of crimson-eyed rabbits, their collective aura creating a terrifying pressure on the treasure-hunting army.
"What's going on... this is still a long-eared tribe?"
"Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, right?"
They arrived at Purple Moon, searching everywhere for clues to the treasure. They had seen many of the long-eared tribes who had lived on Purple Moon for generations... but the long-eared tribes of Purple Moon were all docile, peace-loving, and even timid!
But this long-eared tribe of the Laurel clan...
It's outrageous that there's even a powerful immortal like Banikoli here—they even have a large number of priestly legions that play a supporting role!
"Don't engage in a pointless, exhausting battle with the long-eared tribe's army! Don't forget why we came here!"
The treasure-hunting army was not a regular military force, but rather an extremely loosely organized group... There was little coordination between the various teams!
In an instant, many treasure hunters and void pirates broke up into smaller groups and quietly bypassed the Long-Eared Tribe's army on the battlefield, trying to sneak into the depths of the tribe's secret realm!
"Don't let these evildoers pollute our homeland! [Moonlight] Cannon, prepare!"
On the airship, Avril, holding a golden scepter, waved her hand!
On the dozens of airships around them, the huge objects covered by canvas revealed their true forms: ancient-looking, all-black turrets with intricate patterns carved on them!
"Under the Holy Light, all evil will have nowhere to hide!"
High Priestess Avril held her scepter high, and purple light gathered on the black turrets, followed by dozens of purple beams shooting into the sky!
The purple light that entered the sky exploded like fireworks in an instant, splitting into hundreds and thousands of purple meteors that accurately struck the treasure-hunting army!
"What the hell is this?"
"What a powerful force!"
"Damn, they actually have weapons of this level?!"
Boom boom boom boom boom——!!!
The earth was instantly engulfed by purple light and flames!
……
In one corner of the battlefield, a magical shield easily blocked a beam of purple light... However, the witch who had easily blocked the [Moonlight] bombardment couldn't help but frown.
"This is... a magic cannon? And the design isn't what's popular these days..." The witch narrowed her eyes, observing the patterns on the black turrets on the airship through the [Dust Guards]. "The power is... ugh, these magic patterns are so ancient! I can't even understand them?"
Is it...
A thought suddenly struck the witch: Could these magic cannons be products of the Old Gods... or even the legacy of the Sea God, Kalithorpe?
According to legend, the sea god Kalithorpe was originally a deity from the magical realm.
"This Laurel Tribe really does have a big secret!"
The witch's gaze immediately turned fiery.
At this moment, a fierce wind blew across the battlefield, accompanied by constant roaring sounds... The wind violently lifted Xiaomeng's skirt—just as her absolute territory was about to be revealed, the girl quickly covered it, "Ugh!"
"Stop pretending to be innocent!" The witch rolled her eyes, picked up Xiaomeng like a chicken, and said, "Let's go, let's go inside and find the treasure!"
……
Under the terrifying barrage of the [Moonlight] cannon, the number of treasure hunters was reduced by nearly one-tenth... This is a terrifying casualty figure!
However, after a terrifying attack, the [Moonlight] turret seemed to have entered a cooldown phase. A group of long-eared priests who were controlling the turret were now rapidly filling it with something!
"Attack those airships, don't let the turrets launch a second round of attacks!"
"Damn it, I came here to find treasure, not to fight... Ouch, that hurts!"
Amidst the cursing and swearing, some still pressed on, actively attacking the airships carrying the [Moon Holy Light] turrets. However, Banikoli, like a war god, stood alone in the sky, cutting down one by one, pair by pair, from the first airship to the last, his red eyes not even blinking!
"...This Banikoli's strength is even more terrifying than I imagined. Peak [Morning Star]? Or half a step [Radiant Moon]?"
[Blazing Sun] Morgan couldn't help but gasp... His collaborator [Boros] hadn't mentioned at all that such a terrifying weapon existed among the Long-Eared Tribe!
Just as Morgan was about to contact the others and try to communicate on the spot, the communication token given to him by [Boros] suddenly became active.
"Heh, so you've finally decided to show yourself... [Boros], my lord!"
[Yan Yang] Morgan's gaze sharpened, and he sneered. His figure instantly disappeared from the perception of the members of the resentful seed squad he had assembled... Now that they had already invaded the [Laurel] tribe, there was no need to continue bringing these resentful seeds with them.
At the same time, the [Orc] Goshu and the others also quietly left their respective vengeful seed squads.
……
The [Laurel] section, the portal... the portal passage, had been brutally blasted open, and a large number of long-eared warriors' corpses were piled up here, the corpses still warm.
Just then, two figures tore through space and appeared before the portal... a man and a woman, each wearing extremely ornate armor.
Golden knight's armor.
At this moment, the female knight frowned slightly—as one of the Four Knights of the Holy Revelation under Princess Testarossa, she should have been wreaking havoc on the battlefield against the Holy Demon Empire, but instead, she was here on a mission in this rural-like place; it was truly…
"Eva, be careful." The male knight said to his companion, "That guy is quite capable, having managed to escape from Lord Claude's clutches. Don't underestimate him."
"Understood." Eva responded calmly. "I didn't mean to belittle their thoughts, I just don't understand Lord Claude's thinking... At this level, just push them away directly, why be so sneaky?"
“Lord Claude is certain of his plans.” The male knight shook his head. “After all, Lord Claude is the one who is best able to understand Her Highness’s thoughts… We are the swords in the princess’s hands; all we need to do is draw them.”
“Fine.” Eva shrugged.
Anyway, her and her companion Gazef's mission was simply to chase after the rat that had escaped from Lord Claude's clutches... The two of them instantly passed through the portal and entered the secret realm of the [Laurel] tribe.
But they just happened to witness the first round of attacks from the [Moonlight] cannon!
Purple meteors filled the sky, and the earth shattered.
"Huh?" Gazef, one of the Four Knights of the Holy Revelation, couldn't help but pause slightly, and asked in surprise, "Why would there be a magic cannon from the Holy Demon Empire at this hour?"
"This..." Eva couldn't help but show a look of surprise. "It really is the [Holy Moonlight] Cannon... No, these turrets seem to be even older than those of the [Holy Demon] Empire!"
……
It remains the gateway to the [Laurel] clan.
In the dimly lit passage, another figure appeared... walking slowly like a ghost—its face was even covered with constantly wriggling gray tentacles, like octopus tentacles.
The ground was covered in water as we walked along.
“Kalisorp…I can smell you…”
